After only three weeks on the air, American Crime is looking like it won’t make it back next season on ABC. While the network doesn’t formally say whether a show has been renewed or cancelled until May, the numbers are indicating that it is not strong enough to continue on broadcast.
The interesting question now becomes: what’s next for American Crime? As I mentioned before, it has received almost universal praise from critics, and so it may find new life on some other platform. It is a possibility that one of the streaming services will pick it up, and it will likely perform much better online.
